The main purpose of the Advanced Research Workshop is to
discuss some of the less-studied aspects of the physics of heavy ion
collisions and its perspectives bringing together theoretical and
experimental studies.
Despite the great progress made in the
study of heavy ion collisions there are some topics in this area which are
rapidly developing and attractive both for experimentalists as well as for
theorists. This is mainly due to newly appeared topics in the physics of
heavy ion collisions, such as quark-gluon plasma formation at
ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, peripheral collisions and their role
in nuclear astrophysics, stripping of heavy projectiles, the role of
finite-temperature and finite-size effects in relativistic heavy ion
collisions, new technologies based on the use of heavy ion beams etc.
Therefore the main focus of the
workshop is to bring together studies from all of the above areas, to
discuss less-studies aspects of these topics and future perspectives.
The following topics will be covered by the ARW:
i) Peripheral Collisions of Heavy Ions;
ii) Electromagnetic Processes in Relativistic Heavy Ion
Collisions;
iii) Elementary Processes in the Collisions of Heavy
Ions;
iv) Projectile Electron Loss Processes;
v) Finite-Temperature and Finite-Size Effects in
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions;
vi) Nuclear Astrophysics;
vii) Quark-Gluon Plasma;
viii) Chaotic Scattering.
Recent advances and forthcoming studies on all of these
topics will be discussed during the workshop.
